Speaker 1 discusses the importance of avoiding immorality in speaking and dressing, as it is the only way to avoid it. They stress that anything that leads to it is considered immoral, and that anything that is not immoral is considered minor Brianna. They also mention that while the act of abandonment is considered immoral, it is still a sin, and that anyone who continues to avoid it is a sin as well.

			So Allah says thereafter,
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:09
			And don't go close to immorality,
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:12
			that which is open and that which is
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:13
			hidden. Immorality
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:16
			here starts with the way you talk and
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:18
			the way you dress, as well as the
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:21
			actions, the adultery, the fornication or anything that
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:23
			leads to it. Allah says don't go close
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:26
			to it. Watch how you talk, watch who
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:28
			you talk to, watch what you're saying.
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:31
			Don't go close to immorality. There must be
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:33
			nothing immoral in the way you speak, in
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:36
			the way you talk and in what you
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:36
			are saying.
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:39
			Even in your tone, don't have an immoral
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:42
			tone when you're speaking to people who are
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:44
			not married to you, people who are not
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:47
			closely related to you in that way. So
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:49
			Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:51
			even your dress code because that is apparent,
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:53
			that is open. Allah says dress in a
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:54
			very
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:57
			beautiful way, in a godly way that which
		
00:00:57 --> 00:00:58
			would have been
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:01
			taught by Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. You wouldn't
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:03
			be embarrassed of it had you been to
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:06
			meet, say, for example, the messenger peace be
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:06
			upon him.
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:10
			May Allah grant us the ability to rectify
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:12
			our dress in a beautiful way. Allah says
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:14
			if you're going to do that, you're gonna
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:17
			plunge yourself into crisis one way or another
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:19
			in this world and the next or
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:23
			in the next. And perhaps, who knows, maybe
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:25
			only in this world for a temporary time.
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:27
			If you were to seek forgiveness, Allah would
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:29
			still always forgive you. Masha'Allah.
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:31
			So Allah says
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:32
			even the
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:36
			act of adultery, that's not the only immorality.
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:39
			Anything that leads up to it is also
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:40
			considered immoral.
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:43
			Although the major sin is the act itself,
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:45
			what leads to it
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:48
			may be considered minor sins to a certain
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:49
			extent, but
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:52
			it is still wrong. May Allah Subhanahu Wa
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:55
			Ta'ala protect all of us and strengthen us
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:57
			wherever we have faulted. My brothers and sisters,
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:00
			turn to Allah and you will achieve comfort.
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:03
			But if you continue in immoral ways, habits
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:06
			and so on then you have none to
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:07
			blame besides yourself
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:09
			when you have a lot of discomfort
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:10
			and perhaps crises
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:12
			upon crises.
